Bora Bora Walking Tour

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Why Walk Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a small volcanic island in the South Pacific surrounded by a barrier reef that encloses a lagoon of extraordinary turquoise and aquamarine hues. Mount Otemanu, the remnant volcanic peak, rises 727 meters at the island's center. The overwater bungalows perched on stilts above the lagoon have made it one of the world's most iconic honeymoon destinations.
